The concept of the Closing Calendar or the Book has fascinated me since I was first shown a real "Book" in the early 1990's. I've created calendar tools for ProForm clients ever since. At this point, most companies have adopted some sort of electronic shared calendar, those who have experienced our fully automated solutions save money on every closing.

The ProForm Calendar Robot is an automatic tool that maintains a closing calendar by watching the ProForm database. The ProForm user does nothing other than set the Settlement Date and Time in ProForm. When the changes are saved, the Robot quickly notices and updates a shared calendar.

Recently I have been working on a tool to automatically create PDF documents using ProForm Classic as an additional option for my ProUtil suite of products. It is designed to allow a Title Agency using ProForm Standard or Enterprise to quickly and easily create PDF documents from their system.

For years I've wanted to document all the field codes in a ProForm file. A while back, I decided to build a set. After much troubleshooting I got a system running that completed the job on a file in a bit over 24 hours constant processing.
